Compare places, not assumptions
Use North Carolina tide charts with local context
Tide times can differ along the same coast. This state view is a starting point for comparison; open a named location before relying on an exact time, height, station distance, or seven-day range.
Compare the next turn
The table above shows the next predicted high or low for each listed place. Each time remains in that location’s verified timezone, so the comparison never hides a timezone conversion.
Open the detailed forecast
Location pages add the next-24-hour Tide Brief, exact daily events, the seven-day range planner, and the mapped prediction station. That context matters more than a generic state-wide tide number.
Use predictions appropriately
These are stored tide predictions relative to MLLW and shown in your selected height units. They do not replace real-time conditions, local notices, weather, currents, surf, or navigation information.
How these North Carolina tide charts are selected
Every location listed here has a verified station mapping and at least seven days of future high and low tide predictions. This keeps the directory focused on places where you can open a complete, useful tide chart instead of a page with missing times.
Reading local tide times
Each page uses its mapped timezone and lets you switch between feet and meters. Use the Tide Brief to understand the predicted sequence, then the detailed table for exact turns. Predictions are informational and should not be used for navigation or decisions where official real-time conditions are required.
